Suggest Treatment To Boost Testosterone Levels Other Than Androgel
Question: Is there any way to boost testosterone levels other than prescriptions like androgel (too expensive). Anything over the counter? I am 68
Brief Answer:
There are no over the counter supplements for this!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty getting androgen. These drugs are actually controlled substances and cannot be obtained over the counter. The only person who can provide a scrip for them is your doctor. Androgel is good because it offers fewer side effects than others that are taken orally or as injections. I will suggest you tell your doctor this is too expensive for you and see what other options he proposes that may be less expensive. As concerns substitutes, it cannot be gotten over the counter.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
